An inquiry into claims of child sexual abuse in England and Wales has finished its final public hearing.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse heard evidence from 648 witnesses over four years.
It is investigating claims against local authorities, religious organisations, the armed forces and public and private institutions – as well as people in the public eye.
The inquiry’s final report will be published in 2022.
IICSA was set up in July 2014 after hundreds of people came forward to say Jimmy Savile had abused them as children.
